The Battle Within

The conflict of fighting what comes natural to feel and how you want to feel.

Stuck in the mindset of a past relationship that obviously doesn't work. Disagreeing with your own response to a situation and wanting to be more rational, but fighting what comes naturally.

Some want to have a different kind of relationship but in order to do so they'd need a different mindset.

Can a new fangled approach to relationships work, where each person can have their cake and eat it too? I think communication and confidence are key. Insecurities have no place in a modern day relationship, but show me a person with zero insecurities.

I Don't Wanna be a Playa No More

As of lately, it seems like the summer is when people put their love lives into perspective. I've been single for a little over 3 years now, and it's been the longest I've ever been detached from the "relationship scene" (since the ripe ole age of 15). The past three years have been filled with so many emotions and lack there of, if that's possible.  Prior to my release from pre-matrimony, I was in a 12 year battle of love. That war took it out of me, and like so many warriors before me I've seen the trenches and patched up what felt like gaping wholes in my soul.
